50 Best Burger Restaurants in Pittsburgh

“As a vegan finding a vegan restaurant that has more than tofu is amazing. And if you are gluten free, they are friendly to you as well.Appetizers were delicious, especially the brussels sprouts.I have had 4 main courses over my visits and each one had distinct impressive flavor.Too stuffed for dessert.Their fresh juices are amazing too.Easy to miss this place, but don't.Vegetarian options: so many, many vegan and gluten free options too“

“Best burger I’ve ever had“

“Love it here. Very authentic and the owner really cares about the customers. Food is very fresh!“

“Not the same as it was, but the new owner is passionate and the staff is top notch. I miss some of the charm of the old vibe, but the Pub is in the hands of someone who appears to care about the place, while following her own vision. Still one of the best spots to grab a Guinness, eat a little (good) pub food and share a good conversation.“

“Service was great and the burger I got was delicious I would highly recommend you try it out when your in Pittsburgh“

“On a referral from a friend my wife and I decided to try coughlin’s out and weren’t disappointed. Fantastic food, friendly service, great atmosphere“

“Best burger I’ve ever had“

“This place is the type of thing that can only have been thought of by a passionate player setting out to correct something that was missing in every game space. BravoVegetarian options: They have a lot of vegan and vegetarian options that made me and my partner very happy :)“

“Everything from the walk in the door to the very last bite was AMAZING! Cute smaller place with some seating and cute hammock swings. The owner was taking an order at the counter but greeted me and helped me as soon as he finished with them. He said it would be a 20 minute wait as items are made fresh. My food came out within the promised timeframe. The honey hot chicken sandwich and fries smelled so good, I couldn’t wait to get home. After a 30 minute drive home, the food was still hot and tasted way better than I expected after transport. I can’t wait to go back and try it fresh.This is a small made fresh business, if traveling a far distance try to check availability. Try to give them some ease and understanding that items may not be available and hours may fluctuate.“

“These ladies are the BEST !!! I've ordered from here over 30 times now, eat in & call ahead pick up. My order is always spot on, food is always hot & super tasty, done in a prompt timeframe. Always packed in there because they are so good & consistent. One of my favorite places to eat in Bloomfield. Thank you to the staff for always taking such good care of me & our staff here at P&W!“

“We stopped by at 5:15pm on Saturday for a quick meal. The spot used to be a molecular gastronomy spot called Alchemy and it seems to be a whiskey and burger joint. My burger was pretty good as were the fries. Everything came out fairly quickly and was tasty. I also enjoyed the cocktail I got. The ambiance was confusing because the elegant and upscale decor leftover from Alchemy clashed with the blaring country music and casual uniforms of the staff.“

“I moved to the area in June 2016 from Gibsonia I was referred to Danny's and it was the best "Move" I have ever made Over the years I have been treated like a VIP especially when I received my new leg in 2019 I use a walker and Danny's is so easily accessible and someone offers to get the door every time I have been around the world and I am proud to say that Danny's Bar and Grille sets the standard by which all other establishments are to be judged!

“A delightful breakfast, brunch, and lunch restaurant at the site of the old Pamela's restaurant. It retains the same basic layout, but with a new decor, and it feels much more upscale, spacious, and cleaner.The food is international in flavor, and is delicious. I needed to look up a few things on the menu, and I always enjoy finding new things, so that was great! The service is very good, too!“

“Excellent food at the bar. Burgers cooked to order, add your own condiments. Tons of beers on tap, quiet conversation and quality too to bottom. This is definitely a place we'd be happy to stop back in to relax and enjoy a good meal and beer.“

“Good salad and great burgers“

“I love stinky’s bar and grill. SADIE is such a sweetheart. Best bar tender in city of PGH. I recommend 5⭐️“

“Peppi’s Steak Salad Is A Solid Choice, For $12 You Cannot Go Wrong, Steak Is Freshly Prepared In Front Of You, I Added Mushrooms To Mine, Came With Lettuce, Cucumbers, Mozzarella Shredded Cheese Fries And Tomatoes With Your Choice Of Dressing.“

“Good food, good service, and good entertainment.“

“Wicked busy Friday night, the 2 bartenders were swamped, they still have a great attitude and go the job done in a timely manner. It was disappointing that no manager came to help these girls or a busboy or someone, but these girls killed it!!We had a group of 8 or 9 at the bar and we didn't need anything..Food was excellent, came out quickly, cooked properly, looked great.. we will be back!“

“Great food and great service!“

“Had dinner there Saturday first time. Treehugger burger and gearhead burger were very good as were the fries. Had risotto balls for appetizer, terrible. Risotto mushy and flavorless. Chef needs to add chicken stock, heavy cream and parm and not overcook. Coating was good and crisp. Will go back , but try meatballs instead!!“

“Went there for the first time on a Saturday for dinner. Nice place with lots of options. Our server who was doubling as cook was super nice and answered all our questions and special requests. I got the Cranberry Poppins salad. It was fresh, delicious and very large. The rest of my party had the fish sandwich, the chicken tenders and fries and the Alcove Burger. Everyone liked their food. We left just as the band was setting up. Would definitely go back again.“

“Surprised by this random find, which turned out to be a hidden treasure. Our server Paul was exceptionally cordial and extremely knowledgeable about menu items, which was greatly appreciated. The humus platter was plentiful and scrumptious. But our ultimate pleasure was in the hanger steak & gouda risotto. Definitely would go back! The desert was good but not great (rasberry/lemon cake; we'll have to try a different one next time).“

“Delicious hoagie, amazing salads My grandson is extremely pickey said his burger was the best he's ever had the wings are delicious overall price isn't bad their food is well worth it. We usually order once a week from there and have always been happy with their food also friendly and polite service.“

“Wonderful place, great food, drinks and amazing service“

“Wonderful staff, amazing food, and a family friendly dinner spot. We try make it to Jamisons at least once a month. It's worth our 30 minute drive.“

“Unfortunately this place is just built into a bar, so consider getting all your food to go and eating it somewhere more peaceful. Staff is friendly and food is mostly good; fries were delicious, but stay away from the maple chicken. It's literally just dry chicken wings drizzled in table syrup. Burger was above average for Pittsburgh; somewhere near Five Guys quality. I miss BRGR.“

“Great experience!! If you are really lucky Dom will be your server. Everything was prompt, he kept our drinks full, and didn't let our food sit under a warmer to dry out.. The ribs, IMO, were the best value out of everything ordered.. they were super smoky, tender where expected, paired well with the fries (PRO TIP: ask for BBQ sauce on side)... The slaw could use some work (dry more like a salad) and the baked beans are our least favorite of everything. They had a strong taco taste.“

“It’s a 9.5 out of 10… their chairs aren’t that comfortable but good and service is a 10!“

“Tried this place for the first time through Grubhub . Everything was so delicious . I eat food from different restaurants constantly and this was one of the best“

“Great food and great service! Good times and good memories“

“Their lamb burger was amazing.They're new, and they're absolutely doing right.I look forward to trying something different from the menu next time I visit because I'm sure they'll do that right too.Excellent new small business!“

“10 out of 10, Pittsburgh needed a place like this. The toppings were all so delicious, think of it like a Yinzer Cava.Vegetarian options: Best Falafel in PittsburghKid-friendliness: Daughter (5) loved it, fries were next level (dip them in the hummus)“

“Can't beat the value of the Saturday buy 2 get 1 free chicken thigh sandwich deal. My only complaint is that the size of the chicken seems to have shrunk over the past year. Taste is competitive with other chicken sandwiches of its price range. Other menu items can be a bit lackluster, hence only 4 stars.“

“it was a great place to go until tonight when we went to dinner the service we received from the waitress was fantastic the food was fantastic but when we went to leave we stopped to play one of the games and ended up being harassed by I guess one of there drunk customers. the sad thing about the situation is one of the owners sat there and let it go on. the guy was very aggressive to us wanting to fight all we did was sit down to play one of the machines and didn't realize the volume was on low. this guy pushed his way in between me and my brother put his hand in the machine and lowered the volume he could of just asked us so my brother told him not to put his hand on the machine and he went off now one of the owners were sitting by him letting this go on. he kept going back to the bar and the machine. he made a comment that we played the machine because we saw him playing it. we were in the table area. as we were leaving we walk by him and he yells oh leaving without fighting me. then he was running his mouth with the f word now the owner is still sitting there letting this go on. I started walking back towards the guy and the owner stops me and said you were leaving so leave. then there was a lady sitting at the same table and she got up and talked to us and walked us out. she was very nice. then there was another drunk woman at the bar and as we were leaving she started running her mouth. I never expected this kind of behavior in this restaurant it was always so peaceful and enjoyable. so I guess here it shows that you must have to be a drunk to get appreciated for you patronizing Coaches. very sad have to find another place now.“

“Armstrongs has AWESOME food. Love their Stuffed Hot Banana Peppers.☺️“

“THIS PLACE IS THE BEST PIZZA PLACE IN PITTSBURGH AS A PITT STUDENT THIS PLACE IS THE ONLY PLACE OPEN ENOUGH FOR ME TO GET A SLICE OF PIZZA LATE AT NIGHT. EVERYONE GO HERE IF YOU WANT TO BE WOWED. IF YOU DONT WANT GOOD FOOD DONT COME!!! ALSO THE FRONT DESK GUY IS EASY ON THE EYES ❤️❤️❤️“

“Neighborhood bar. Food was decent, pretty basic, but good.The server, Susan, was fantastic! The bar itself is nice, as I loved the old time pictures of Aspenwall. The fried Zucchini was excellent, and the tavern burger was good. The Reuben was mediocre.“

“Big fan of this dive bar! Perfect place if you need quick food and a drink, and can sit at the bar. Also great to go with a group after a long bike ride on the trails! All the wraps are 10/10. Pump track wrap and rail trail are my favorite. I've had the best burgers ever here but they are not consistent. I think it depends on who is cooking because sometimes the are cooked to perfection, and other times they are dry and over done. But the toppings are always unique and good. Service is what you would expect from a dive bar, always friendly and attentive but let you be with your food and beer. Cool place.“

“Went there for the first time today with my dad today. Food was good, service was good, really enjoyed being there. My dad is picky about eating burgers at restaurants and he enjoyed his burger. 2 bites in he said he definitely will be back and absolutely agree. Good experience all around“

“This is a quaint little diner with FANTASTIC food. Just writing this makes my mouth water. The Bountiful Breakfast is my go to. You get eggs, potato and meat with toast. Hard scrambled eggs, home fries, spicy sausage, Italian toast and coffee. I can’t describe to how hungry this writing has made me. The owner and staff are attentive and friendly. Even if you’re not in the area I’d tell you to stop in and give it a try. You won’t be sorry!“

“I ate inside and they had a friendly waiter id say pretty kid friendly you can build youre own burger and the fries and burgers are absolutely amazing 10/10 I’ll definitely be coming back also gave free drinks to the mothers for Mother’s Day perfect dining“

“Awesome atmosphere and very nice outdoor deck. Food was fantastic and Legacy is the best!“

“Can’t come back home from Dallas without going to the hot dog shoppe!!!! Makes me extremely happy!!!!!“

“So delicious! My new favorite breakfast spot when I’m in Pittsburgh! And the freshly squeezed orange juice was AMAZING!“

“Stopped in looking for a sandwich and came upon the steak and chimichurri sandwich. I was hesitant at first due to the price being $20 for a sandwich and side salad, along with the steak possibly being over cooked, but my worries were washed away after it arrived. The steak was juicy and tender and the sauce that it came with was to die for. The side salad was just ok and nothing special but the sandwich was definitely worth the price point and could definitely be split between two people or as a take home meal. The servers who brought the meal were sweet and very friendly! The bakery square City Kitchen dining area is a great place to enjoy a meal with friends and family.“

“The bar is very clean and the bartender was friendly. The side salad was crisp and tasty. The yuengling draft was good. Shots are fat. Only down side is price. Wings are very expensive, $11 for 6 and like $19 for 12. Wing quality was mediocre at best. I wasn't impressed at all. They were cooked well, however. Shots are $6.50. Come on.... draft prices were OK.“

“Probably one of the top places to get a good burger in PA. No, I'm not kidding. They deserve McDonald's fame, given that MCD sucks and should be replaced by this place. The employees are very friendly and nice. I'll definitely keep coming back.“

“Attached to the Uptown Pizza and Wings restaurant and located close to Downtown Pittsburgh, Uptown Cafe & Boba features boba, jelly tea, espresso, and desserts in a cozy environment.Pros:• Priced generously: Only $5 for a 24oz portion of boba milk tea.• Great flavor on all menu items. Featuring La Prima coffee — yum!• Open late: Uptown Cafe & Boba is open until 12:45am for pick-up, delivery, and dining in.• Nice atmosphere: Clean and spacious interior with plenty of seats. Free WiFi for customers.• Friendly staff.Cons:• The quality of the tapioca pearls is slightly disappointing; they tend to crumble in the mouth.Overall, while I can't say that this is my favorite boba tea spot in Pittsburgh, I can highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cheap, late-night fix of their favorite drink. This store is a welcome presence in Uptown and I will be visiting again soon!“

“Everyone there is super friendly and the food is amazing. Special shout out to the kitchen guys ❤️“
